A Snow day Yea!!

We woke up to a white yard full of snow. The first thing Sandon said when he saw it was " Mom I want to go play in the snow." Dad and Sandon got dressed and played snowball fight and built a snowman before coming in. Isn't it cute! The snow was all melted by the time we got home from church, but their snowman was still there smiling at us.

Sandon's new glasses

Sandon got glasses this week. We picked them up last Friday but the bridge is way too big and they keep sliding off. we have to get them resized tomorrow. Doesn't he look cute. We're hoping this will help his astigmatisms in both eyes and hopefully he won't have to wear them longer than a year. We'll see...

Sandon's 4th Birthday Party!!!

We celebrated Sandon's 4th Birthday last Thursday December 6. His real Birthday is on Christmas day so we like to celebrate it early and make it two separate occasions. He decided to have a bowling party at the new bowling alley here in town, so we invited all his cousins for a night of bowling and partying!!

Happy Birthday to me

Sandon and his cousins Jayden and Aleah

Doug and Raleigh

Raleigh liked playing with the balloons the best

Sandon picked out another Spongebob cake for his party. That's 2 years in a row!!

More cake please!!!! My little piggy!!!

Present time!!

Sandon was buried in his car seat from all the balloons!

Raleigh was so cranky and tired after the whole ordeal. You can still see green frosting from the cake on the side of her face!

Our Mini Richie (Grandma)

Here is our rag a muffin daughter!!! She is the spitting image of my Mom, Grandma Richie. Everyone says she looks just like her. This picture doesn't really do my mom justice, But it's cute anyway!

Packing up the Garage

Last weekend we filled up a Penske truck full of stuff we didn't need for awhile and drove to Utah and put it all in a storage unit. Basically everything we had in the garage. I don't think I have ever had a garage that was so clean and empty.

It's Autumn Time!

Daddy and Uncle Jay came home in the middle of the work day to pick some stuff up and Uncle Jay decided he would rake up all our leaves from our front tree into a huge pile. The kids had a good time playing in them. Sandon even lost my slipper that he was wearing in the big pile. I finally bagged them up this week. It took me 4 huge black garbage bags and a sore lower back from bending down to get rid of them all.

Turkey Trot Run

Well I ran my 2nd official 5k this morning in freezing cold weather like 28 degrees. There were 250 participants there. The local fire dept. hosted the Turkey Trot Run, and my sister-in-law Jill called me last night to tell me about it. Kind of last minute huh. It was a beautiful morning with blue skies and sun shining, just very cold. I finished in 27 minutes, so I beat my last time. I am very excited about that. This is getting addictive. I was still shivering when I got home and jumped straight into the hot shower. I used up all the hot water!! Next race...Moab 1/2 marathon in March??? I'll have to start training right away!!!
